Jingle Bell Rockin' Run 2026

The Jingle Bell Rockin' Run is a Saturday morning 5K run/walk held in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. A Kids Fun Run is offered concurrently with the main event. The race begins at First Baptist Church on West Kings Street and is organized as a family gathering, not exclusively for competitive runners. Pets and strollers are permitted, allowing families to include children, dogs, and walkers on the course. Proceeds benefit the Cleveland County YMCA's “We Build People” scholarship fund, linking the holiday run to local YMCA programs throughout the year.
